    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone might know what I did wrong to cause the location page to be an unorganized mess. The locations and categories are not lined up and there are big empty spaces.

    Here is the link:
    https://nhtourguide.com/wp/location/

    Looks like this in both FireFox and IE

    I should add that I am aware that this has a lot to do with the categories and subcategories, I was just hoping to not have it look so unorganized.

    Have a look at
    GD > Settings > Pages > Location page
    and edit the GD categories element to tidy up the category display.
    Because you have so many categories, I would hide the subcategories except on the category pages.
    Edit the GD Categories element for example like this:

    [gd_categories post_type="0" hide_empty="1" max_level="0" max_count="all" max_count_child="all" title_tag="h4" sort_by="count"]

    Remove the map, because you already added it in the GD Top section as a widget.

    Thanks

    Worked perfectly! Thank you!! That actually help me do other things I have been wanting to to as well so thank you for the detailed explanation!

    One question…
    Since I removed the subcategories how do I add those to the places/category/CATEGORYNAME pages?

    If you want to add the GD Categories widget to pages like https://nhtourguide.com/wp/places/category/legends-of-nh/ then go to GD > Settings > Pages > Archive page, and add the categories shortcode there.

    Thanks

    Thanks!! Is there any way to add the subcategories to the top of a category page? So when you click on a main category that has subcategories it will take you to the main category page with the subcategories listed above the results?

    Yes, go to
    GD > Settings > Pages > Archive page, and add the GD>Categories shortcode there.

    Thanks

    Sorry Guust, I just re-read my question and I wasn’t clear. When I add the shortcode it displays all categories and subcategories.

    What I was thinking was lets say you have a main category for “Campgrounds” – when someone clicks on Campgrounds I wanted to have the Campground category page display the sub categories for campgrounds only, like “Campgrounds with electrical hookups”, “Campgrounds with swimming pools”, etc

    Have you tried it?

    Please provide working admin access if you want me to add the shortcode.

    Thanks
